Reviews
"Best printing studio around! Dan is super knowledgeable and friendly. The studio is clean and organized, and has plenty of different machines and tools so you can create to your heart’s content!"
"Dan is an excellent teacher / mentor, and the studio is a really comfortable and accessible place to work independently as well. Highly recommended for both one-time workshops and ongoing memberships. First Proof is full of happy creative energy. Love it!"
"This is a really cool space with great local art for sale. Attended my first workshop at First Proof Press today for screen printing and it was incredible! Dan is super welcoming and provides his hands-on expertise to make sure you take something home you’re proud of. I will definitely be back again. Highly recommend a visit!"
"Great place! Total beginner here and took a class with Dan. He is an expert and makes sure everyone walks away with some cool pieces. The space is so clean and there is plenty of equipment to try; you learn a lot and this five hour class was a perfect amount of time. Thank you! Look forward to visiting again."
"First Proof Press is a place for you to have a creative experience unlike any other, using mediums and techniques that engage your senses and bring you into a physical process of making. As an instructor, Dan brings an encouraging demeanor and an extraordinary depth of experience to his workshops. I had a fantastic, immersive session at one of his screen printing classes in December 2020. If you're in Brattleboro, you really must check out the bright and welcoming space Dan has created, decorated with his exquisite drawings and etchings, and outfitted with historic printing presses and other antique machines that he refurbished and returned to their mechanical glory. The studio is a work of art in itself and you can't help but tap into your creative nature there. If you have the chance to take a class, I would highly recommend doing so. Thanks Dan - I'll be back for more soon!"
